Even if you are not celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend take a moment to think of those less fortunate than ourselves. Today is dedicated to the holiday that encourages us to step back and give thanks for all the blessings we have.

I am grateful that I have done all that I can to guide my daughter in spreading her wings and become the beautiful woman she is today. She is loving, kind and considerate of others. On this day she has taken on the challenge of preparing the feast...yes she has learned to cook in true foodie style...sometimes a little by osmosis and sometimes by sheer talent and intuitiveness. She is attending university to become a dietician so has plenty to teach her mom as well.

Today I am sharing with you my favourite pumpkin pie recipe. I don't recall where the recipe came from after a number of years, but I can attest to the fact that it adds a welcoming end to any holiday feast. For L'il Burnt Toast it just wouldn't be October without pumpkin pie somewhere along the road. You can find my recipe for Cinnamon Streusel-Nut Pumpkin Pie in a past post.

I just finished enjoying pumpkin waffles from a box of Trader Joe's mix. It was so good, because I love pumpkin. I'm looking for a different kind of pumpkin pie to make and yours is both unique and lovely.Happy Thanksgiving-- and thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Yours is quite lovely.

Happy Thanksgiving Val to you and your family. What a wonderful looking pie and all your pumpkin recipes sound so good (I'll be checking out the recipes). Sounds like you taught your daughter alot and that she's on the right path. I hope I'm teaching my daughters traditions and skills that they can use and pass down. It's my goal anyway.

Belated good wishes for your holiday. I'm sure all your readers are thankful you shared that pumpkin pie recipe. I may have to talk someone around our table to make it for our Thanksgiving since I don't bake.

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
